Agreed, it would be desireable from a purely academic point of view, but as someone pointed out in a very well put post - school is as much about building social skills as anything.

It is possible to achieve a perfect academic envrironment (we did it by homeschooling for a year after we had a fallout with our 1st school district), but it is an incredible amount of work (it's basically another full-time job) and again, there is the social thing.

The most important thing we are teaching at home now is avoiding (or dealing with) toxic people and toxic relationships.

Like a typical male, I haven't bothered to read most of this thread.
I just want to ask about a side comment in the last post:

How do you teach something like that??? Seems easy to
do, impossible to teach. I suppose that for some, it may
be the other way around...

Things happen versus things felt: the "show, don't tell" rule. All good stories should have things happen, and the feelings ought to be implied by the actions. (This is unless you're looking for a Nobel or some other literary award. Then you need to write something that sucks as much as possible.)

I think it's more a matter of what you identify with. Guys don't want to hear about a girl's problems growing up with her three sisters, and girls typically don't get into the soldier mindset all that well. But both stories should include the same amount of action. It's just the type and setting of the action that makes interest vary.
